Currently working on a TeamSpeak 3 skin, but my artwork may be considered sub-par. If anyone would like to create some authentic artwork such as the logo, please respond to this thread! I require a PSD of the logo for style matching if possible, and two png's of the logo of size 943x174 and 467 x 627. the wide image should have the logo on the right side.
Thank you in advance for any contribution or feedback!

Nice job.
How do you change the colors for the username text? I liek the skin i use, but find the user 'Friend' text too dark...

there's a .qss file in there which is really a Cascading Style Sheet or CSS for short. If you know css you shouldn't have any trouble modifying the colors.

I have no clue, but I'll learn.
Hahah geez i open the qss for my skin and it's one huge, continuous line.
Oh, now it appears that the one thing i wish to change is hardcoded. What a load.

The continuous line is likely b/c of the text editor you used. Try Notepad++, it's an awesome open source, source code/text editor - you'll love it.

Thanks, but I've been using Notepad ++ for a while, and yes it pretty awesome. I even link to it in my how-to posts
I started using it after seeing how nice it was for editing .xml files.
Naw the skin i used has a qss that's jsut a line line, whiel the others are formatted properly. THough the single, big line still works fine. I far prefer dark, simple skins, but I ended up getting the Steam UI skin and replacing most of the grey backgrounds with a close-to-black color. What I wanted to change was the 'Friend' color, but after reading many posts from people looking to do the same, it seems that it cannot be changed. Come to think of it, a hex-edit may do it.

If you want an editor that's smart enough to tell you what went wrong try vim. I use it for everything any language I canthink of is supported. And with the right plugins it can save a lot of time, but you need to learn how to use it. So it's not quite the best choice for the casual themer or casual coder but it really makes life easy when coding if you use plugins like snipmate which expands known identifiers into entire blocks of code. I use it to lay out my functions in almost every language I use. And those that aren't supported you can easily add support for. Pretty sure the website is vim.org but Google it for more information.
